Liberation Day

When will we finally be liberated?

This year Inauguration Day fell on Martin Luther King Day.  This created some confusion since many people were calling the day “Liberation Day”.

Some people called it this because America was being liberated from an illegal occupant of the White House and from many people in Congress that suspiciously won in states that had no real controls to prevent election fraud.  They had created civil unrest when they tried to force all Americans to call things righteous that most found to be wicked and had created policies that did nothing but cause America trouble.

Other people took this to mean the liberation from racial injustice that MLK sought to bring about through civil rights legislation.  This had also been a time of civil unrest when those in Congress and the White House had tried to perpetuate a system as righteous that most Americans thought was wicked.

To make things even more complicated, America was mourning after the death of former President Jimmy Carter – which is done by having flags at half-mast for thirty days.  Some states were leaving the flags at half-mast because the traditional mourning period was not over, but others raised them to full mast because that was the tradition on Inauguration Day.

So, many thought that the flags were at half-mast in  states which were in mourning that the occupant and his party had been soundly defeated in the election.  They thought that that flags were raised to full-mast in states which were celebrating Liberation Day.

Of course, this was not the case as plainly shown by looking at which states kept them at half-mast, and which raised them to half-mast.  California been one of the strongest proponents of the occupant but raised their flags to full mast while Kansas had been a strong proponent of President Trump but left their flags at half-mast.

One thing is certain, many of the people of America - the land of Liberty- still yearn to be liberated.  They long to see Liberation Day.

In the history of America, there have always been two opposing forces at work like Pilgrims and Strangers in Plymouth Colony.  One has sought to live in the legacy of the Pilgrims and the other has sought to destroy that legacy through a subtle influence.

One side has sought to live in peace and justice like Wampanoags and Pilgrims had lived.  This side recognizes that we all really have skin color that is one of six shades of brown and have sought to bring social justice to everyone.

The other side has caused America to become a nation of fools.  Every time they are running America, it experiences internal strife and a loss of power.

So, there has been a constant struggle to liberate the oppressed from their oppressors in America.  Sometimes it was obvious like the struggle to liberate enslaved African Americans from their slavery, but sometimes it is less obvious.

One reason is that the oppressors will start trying to redefine oppression as anything that stands in the way of their oppression.  Their strategy is to distract everyone else from their oppression so it can continue unopposed.

This strategy has worked to various degrees throughout American history.  For example, slave states claimed that the federal government would be oppressing them by making them end the oppression of slavery in their states.

Eventually, this strategy always fails because the problems caused by genuine oppression will always eventually force action to end the oppression.  So, the question is not really will the oppression end, but when will it end and at what cost.

The sooner it ends, the less it costs to end it.  It is not the oppressors who determine this, but rather those who oppose the oppression.

When they are unwilling to compromise on ending the oppression and take decisive action quickly to end it completely, then the oppression ends while it is smaller, and the cost of ending it is lower.  However, when they are willing to compromise and do not take decisive action to end it completely, the oppression continues to grow larger, and the cost of ending it is higher.

For example, most of Europe ended African slavery long before America did while relatively few people were involved in this oppression, so it ended with little bloodshed and a relatively small economic cost.  However, in America those opposed to slavery made compromise after compromise until a war that killed more Americans that all other American wars combined ended it but crippled the American economy for more than fifty years.

In America today, there is an oppression worse than slavery.  Those who opposed it have been compromising with serial killers and have been unwilling to take decisive action to end it.

In a physical sense, the moment a zygote was formed during conception was the moment I became alive.  However, sick and twisted people are murdering people in the womb.

These oppressors use the same arguments that the slavers used – that the oppressed are not really people and they have right to do whatever they want with their property.  However, no one ever has the right to kill another person just because the other person is dependent upon them and subject to their authority.

Like then, very few in America today who oppose this oppression are willing to do what the Founding Fathers did in the face of British oppression.  The Founding Fathers understood when the time for civil disobedience had arrived, because civil obedience to wicked laws is rebellion against the Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD).

Compromise about this modern oppression has only led to greater and greater rebellion against Him in America.  Unless this oppression is ended quickly and decisively, then the death of America is certain.

So, people who want to make America great again are yearning for liberation from the oppression going on in this country.  They hope that President Trump can end the oppression, so they called this Inauguration Day, “Liberation Day”.

However, they have ignored the call of 9-11 to take decisive action.  They have forgotten the meaning of liberty and where it comes from.

American law was based on the Law of Truth (Torah aka The Law) at the founding of America.  This modern oppression did not exist when the trust of America was in the Father of Truth.

However, today the American Spirit is no longer the Spirit of Truth (Ruach HaQodesh aka The Holy Spirit aka The Holy Ghost).  The Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ) has been replaced in most American churches with American Jesus.

So, most Americans who call themselves followers of the Man of Truth are no longer producing the evidence of faith.  They have a dead faith that will not let them act decisively on what they believe (James 2:19-20).

They have no boldness to confront this oppression when they are also living in rebellion against commandments against the Law of Truth.  They have fallen for the great deception of teachers of lies – that they can continue to be rebellious against the Father of Truth and still have a place in His kingdom (1 Corinthians 6:9-10).

They do not know that they must obey the Man of Truth if they love him (John 14:21).  They do not believe what the Book of Truth (The Bible) says - that the Spirit of Truth can give them the ability to keep the Law of Truth (Romans 8:4-10).

They do not believe that the Man of Truth meant what he said about divorce and remarriage (Mark 10:11-12).  They have no boldness to put an end to people living like they were married in Sodom when they themselves are married in adultery.

They are more interested in a concubine than a wife.  They do not know what it means to leave and cleave.

They have no intention of keeping a marriage contract like one written on a ketubah.  They do not believe that the Father of Truth will punish them severely for breaking their covenant (Romans 1:31-32).

They do not form a love triangle with their spouse and the Man of Truth.  So, they use the nuclear option all too casually.

They have no fear of breaking the oath that they made to the Father of Truth at their wedding (Numbers 30:2).  So, they commit treason against the wives of their youth and their own children (Malachi 2:14-15).

Their wives also commit treason against their families by leaving their husbands (Jeremiah 3:20).  In like manner, they reject the role of women in the church that is given in the Book of Truth.

Some even speak against interracial marriage – as if it were possible to marry outside of the human race!  They do not consider what the Father of Truth did to Miriam when she criticized Moses (Moishe) for marry a woman from a race with much darker skin than his own (Numbers 12:1-12).

Instead, they think that that being liberated means being able to once again to pursue obtaining bigger, better, newer things.  They do not consider that people must go through the refining fire before they can be liberated.

So, they call the day that President Trump returned to office “Liberation Day”.  They do not consider that President Trump can only bring temporary liberation at best.

President Trump will only be in office for four years.  Since he recruited members of the US House of Representatives to be part of his cabinet, his party barely has control of that house – which will be lost in the next election in two years if the usual pattern of American history is followed.

Even if President Trump gets everything passed that he wants, another president and another congress will come along that will make things worse than before he returned to office.  Even if he became Emperor Trump, he would still die eventually, and this would still happen.

Even if President Trump managed to bring peace inside this nation, he cannot force peace with other nations.  Another nation could attack America like in WWII and force America into war.

So, an absolute dictator is needed that will rule the entire Earth with absolute justice.  This absolute dictator would have to be immortal to ensure that liberty from injustice would never cease.

The resurrection of the Man of Truth is proof that he will be that absolute dictator (Acts 17:31).  The absolute justice that he will rule the Earth by is spelled out in the Law of Truth (Romans 7:12).

The Man of Truth will return to this Earth (Acts 1:11).  Then he will take the office of absolute global dictator (Revelation 19:11-16).

That will be the real Liberation Day!

Moreover, no president can deal with the root of the problem because it is not a political problem. The problem is with the human heart is exceedingly wicked and deceitful above all things (Jeremiah 17:9).

The good news is that you do not have to wait to be liberated, for the Man of Truth is able to liberate you from the enslavement of sin today (John 8:34-36).  The Spirit of Truth given by him can set you free from the death sentence that sin brings (Romans 8:1-2)!

Your wicked heart that cannot keep the Law of Truth can be replaced with one that can (Ezekiel 36:26-27).  You can become a new person and your days of enslavement will be over (2 Corinthians 5:17)!

If you will obey the Man of Truth in everything then you will be liberated from all deception (John 8:31-32).  You will be free from the ignorance that enslaves most people so that you can do the will of the Father of Truth (1 Peter 2:15-16).

Today can be your Liberation Day!

So, you will not come to ruin if you will obey the Man of Truth in everything (Luke 6:46-49).  You can commit to do this if you believe that the Father of Truth raised him from the dead (Romans 10:9).

Come into the House of Truth!

The Meaning of Liberty

What do the words on the Liberty Bell really mean?

The Liberty Bell has long been a symbol of American Liberty and Independence.  Around the top of the Liberty Bell are these words "Proclaim LIBERTY Throughout all the Land unto all the Inhabitants Thereof Lev. XXV. v X." that give the Liberty Bell its name.

These words embody the American idea that liberty is meant to be for all the inhabitants of America, even though it took far too long for this noble goal to come a reality for all of its inhabitants.  But what exactly is the meaning of liberty?

The best way to understand this is to begin with the source of proclaiming liberty that is referenced on the Liberty Bell itself - Leviticus 25:10.  This is a verse in the Book of Truth (The Bible).  This reference in the Book of Truth is given because the meaning of liberty is truly understood by examining what the Book of Truth says the meaning of liberty is.

The best place to start is by examining the context of Leviticus 25:10 where the words "Proclaim LIBERTY Throughout all the Land unto all the Inhabitants Thereof" appear.  The liberty that is to be proclaimed is the liberty that is given in the year of Jubilee when every man returns to live with their family on the property of their family (Leviticus 25:9-10).

Liberty means that families have a grand reunion when every man comes home (Leviticus 25:10).  Liberty does not just mean that every man returns to the property of their family but also that it is a time for the entire family to rest from all labor and live off of the land (Leviticus 25:11-12).  Liberty means that every family is united when all of the men in the family return to the family land to live in their possession among their own extended family (Leviticus 25:13).  Liberty means that every man is given get back his portion of the family land so he can come home (Leviticus 25:27-28).  Liberty that every man is set free from bondage so he can return to his place in the family (Leviticus 25:40-41).

Liberty means that a family gets back all the land that belongs to the family in the year of Jubilee so that land always remains in the possession of the family and effectively means that a man can only rent his portion of the family land until the year of Jubilee (Leviticus 25:14-16).  Liberty means that every family can get back any portion of the family land by buying it back according to the proportion of the original sales price that is determined by the number of years remaining until the year of Jubilee (Leviticus 25:24-27).   Liberty means that in the year of Jubilee if they were not able to buy it back sooner then every man still gets back the family land that was granted to him (Leviticus 25:28).  Liberty means that only houses inside the walls of a city may permanently change hands from one family to another if the house cannot be bought back within a year (Leviticus 25:29-30).  Liberty means that the houses in cities without a wall are counted as part of the family land and return to the family in the year of Jubilee (Leviticus 25:31).  Liberty means that the Levites, (the religious professionals of Israel) still gets back their houses in the year of Jubilee, even the houses in a walled city, because they have no possession outside of the walled cities except for the small fields that belong to the city (Leviticus 25:32-34).

Liberty means that if a man becomes poor and has to sell his portion of the family land that he will not lose it forever but get it back in the year of Jubilee (Leviticus 25:25-28).  Liberty means that if a man becomes poor that his countrymen will give him an interest free loan (Leviticus 25:35-37).  Liberty means that if a man becomes poor and has to sell himself to one of his countrymen to pay back the loan then he shall go free in the year of Jubilee (Leviticus 25:39-40).  Liberty means that if a man becomes poor and has to sell himself to a foreigner living in his country to pay back the loan that he shall still go free in the year of Jubilee (Leviticus 25:47-50).  Liberty means that if a man becomes poor and has to sell himself to anyone that he and his children will go free in the year of Jubilee (Leviticus 25:51-54).

So in context liberty means a man being restored to his place in his own extended family, getting back his portion of the family land, being able to rest from his labors, being able to enjoy his portion, being set free from bondage and having every debt forgiven!

The year of Jubilee does not occur independently but is the end of a fifty year cycle that has seven shorter cycles that last seven years each that are followed by the year of Jubilee (Leviticus 25:8-10). 

The longest a man can serve another to pay a debt is six years and will go free in the seventh year unless the year of Jubilee cuts his time short (Exodus 21:2).  When a man goes free then he is to be given what he needs to start over instead of going away empty handed (Deuteronomy 15:12-14).

In like manner, in each of the shorter seven year cycles, the land is to rest like it does in the year of Jubilee in a pattern similar to people resting on the seventh day of each week (Exodus 23:10-12).   Whatever the land produces in this Sabbath year can be eaten by people and their animals when it is ripe but it cannot be harvested or stored for later use (Leviticus 25:5-7).

At the end of each seven year cycle is the year of release when every debt is also to be forgiven (Deuteronomy 15:1-3).  (This why bankruptcy can only be filed every seven years in American bankruptcy law.)  No one is to refuse to loan to the poor among them if the year of release is near (Deuteronomy 15:7-10).

All of this liberty, that includes family land that can never be lost and the cancellation of every debt, is only possible because the Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD) makes it possible.  This liberty comes from obeying His commandments (Leviticus 25:17-19).  It is speaking the Word of Truth found in the Book of Truth and keeping the Law of Truth (Torah aka The Law) that causes people to walk in liberty (Psalm 119:43-45).

The Sabbath year for the land to rest belongs to the Father of Truth as much as the Sabbath day for people to rest belongs to Him so He makes it possible for the land to rest in the Sabbath year (Leviticus 25:1-3).  The Father of Truth causes a triple size bumper crop to occur on the sixth year of each seven year cycle that will provide enough to eat until the harvest of the first year of the next seven year cycle is brought in (Leviticus 25:20-22).

The portion of the family land is to be returned to the man who sold it because all of the land belongs to the Father of Truth and people are just His tenants (Leviticus 25:23-24).

No one is to charge interest when they make a loan to their brother because they are to acknowledge that everything they have came from the Father of Truth in the first place (Leviticus 25:36-38).  No one is to withhold loaning to their brother in need when the year of release is near because to withhold from lending to their brother in need is a sin against the Father of Truth and because the Father of Truth promises to bless whoever loans to their brother in such circumstances (Deuteronomy 15:8-10).

In like manner, everyone is to let their brother go from their servitude to return to their portion of the family land in the year of Jubilee because all of them are servants to the Father of Truth (Leviticus 25:40-42).  No one is to deny them from being redeemed or to be a harsh taskmaster over them or prevent them from being released in the year of Jubilee because all of them are His servants (Leviticus 25:52-55).  No one is to send their brother away empty when they are released because they are to remember that the Father of Truth first redeemed them from bondage and brought them into a place of prosperity (Deuteronomy 15:13-15).  No one is to be reluctant to send their brother away fully furnished after their years of servitude are over because they have received both the labor of their brother and the promised of the Father of Truth to bless them in everything they do (Deuteronomy 15:18).

In similar manner, oppression, the opposite of liberty, comes from not keeping the commandments of the Father of Truth.  King Zedekiah obeyed the Father of Truth and made a covenant with the people of Judah to set all of their brothers at liberty because they had served for six years (Jeremiah 34:8-10).  However, the people of Judah then turned around and took away the liberty of their brothers to oppress them (Jeremiah 34:11).  The Father of Truth then said that liberty had came to everyone when they kept His commandments (Jeremiah 34:13-15).  However, now oppression would come to everyone because they were not keeping His commandments (Jeremiah 34:16-20).

So then the words on the Liberty Bell really mean that the liberty that comes from keeping the commandments of the Father of Truth is to be proclaimed throughout the land of America.  These words were first meant for the descendants of Israel and for this reason America has given the modern nation of Israel a replica of the Liberty Bell that is displayed at a park in Jerusalem.

Yet how can this liberty to be proclaimed among people who are not descendants of Israel?

The Prophet of Truth called Isaiah (Yeshayahu) said the Spirit of Truth (Ruach HaQodesh aka The Holy Spirit aka The Holy Ghost) would rest upon the Messiah to would bring about this liberty to everyone who was in bondage and then bring about everything that the Father of Truth had promised concerning the descendants of Israel (Isaiah 61:1-3).  When the Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ) came to the Earth the first time, he said that the time of the first part of the mission of the Messiah spoken of by Isaiah had arrived when the Spirit of Truth would rest upon the Messiah to bring about this liberty (Luke 4:17-19).  The Man of Truth then told them that he was the Messiah and had came to proclaim the liberty at the appointed time (Luke 4:19-21).

All of creation will experience liberty when the Children of Truth (those who obey The Father of Truth because they love Him) come into their inheritance (Romans 8:19-21).  The Man of Truth takes away the veil that keeps people from doing what is written in the Original Covenant (Tanach aka The Old Testament) by giving them the Spirit of Truth who brings them into the liberty comes from obeying the Father of Truth (2 Corinthians 3:14-17).  This liberty comes not from the circumcision of the flesh but from the truth of the Good News (Galatians 2:3-5).  This liberty does not come from trying to keep His commandments in the Law of Truth through the power of the flesh (Galatians 5:1-3).  This liberty comes from the Spirit of Truth giving people the ability to keep His commandments so that they can love other people in the way the Father of Truth desires (Galatians 5:13-16).  The Spirit of Truth puts the Law of Truth within the Children of Truth so they can obey His commandments instead putting them under the Law of Truth that they can never obey in power of their own flesh (Galatians 5:16-18).

The Spirit of Truth causes the Children of Truth to keep His Commandments found in the Word of Truth so that they will be blessed with the liberty that such obedience brings (James 1:22-25).  It is keeping His Commandments that define how to show love to other people that causes the Children of Truth to walk in liberty (James 2:8-12).

So liberty is not meant to be the means to cause others to go into disobedience to the Father of Truth (1 Corinthians 8:9).  Liberty is meant to be the means to seek after the good of other people so that they might to be saved (1 Corinthians 10:29-33).  Liberty is not meant to allow people to be controlled by the desires of their flesh but to free them from such desires so that they can serve other people in love (Galatians 5:13).  Liberty is not meant to hide malicious intentions but to free people to serve the Father of Truth by obeying His commandments (1 Peter 2:16).  Anyone who tells people that giving into the desires of their flesh instead of obeying His commandments is not leading people into liberty but into the slavery of sin (2 Peter 2:18-19).

So the same liberty that Israel will experience when it surrenders to the Man of Truth can be experienced by anyone who surrenders to the Man of Truth now.

It is by doing what the Man of Truth says that people can come to experience freedom (John 8:31-32).  No one is really free until the Man of Truth sets them free from the bondage of sin (John 8:34-36).   Anyone who comes into the House of Truth will have their heart circumcised so that they can experience this liberty (Romans 2:28-29).  Liberty is found by those who come into the House of Truth through total surrender to the Man of Truth because they believe that his Father raised him from the dead (Romans 10:8-10).  This liberty is for Gentiles as well as Jews who come into the House of Truth (Romans 10:11-13).  The Gentiles who come into the House of Truth now have access to same liberty as the descendants of Israel (Ephesians 2:11-13).  The Man of Truth has came so that the liberty which comes from the Spirit of Truth helping those who come into the House of Truth to obey the commandments of His Father can be proclaimed throughout the land (1 Timothy 3:16)!

Come into the House of Truth!
